interesting recipes, but the ingredients and equipment needed was not at-home-chef friendly. If I had the resources, this cookbook would be more helpful. simple, but not groundbreaking. 2.5/5

I was very impressed with Chase Bailey's writing and maturity. I enjoyed the back story and the fun facts more than the recipes. The recipes sound amazing and sophisticated especially for such a young man.however, there are some recipes that take fewer ingredients and less time that I will be trying in the future. While the cooking instructions are very understandable and complete, I would not recommend this book to a beginning chef but for someone who knows their way around the kitchen and has some culinary experience this cookbook is perfect. If you want to be inspired by an amazing young man and inspired to cook this is the book for you!

This is a such a great and inspiring cookbook and story. The recipes are easy to follow, family friendly, and quite delicious! What's awesome is Chase includes fun facts and alternatives to make the recipes gluten free. (For vegans, you can also make some simple adjustments... but by no means is this a vegan cookbook, nor is it meant to be. There were some recipes I could adjusts and they worked just fine!) Chase is so enthusiastic with his recipes that you can't help but be excited in trying something new. He also finds ways to incorporate veggies into kids' diets. Who doesn't love that?!

A colorful book written for kids.. Fun names for the recipes inviting kids to try new things. Gluten free options, so necessary now a days. And fun facts, good for kids and grownups as well.

Not only is The Official Chase 'N Yur Face Cookbook a delightful cookbook for young adults (and beginning cooks, and, well, everyone who enjoys cooking), it is a book that champions those who overcome challenges and soar. Chase Bailey was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and has food aversions, as well as slow speech, and other maladies. He has overcome many of them, starting his own cooking show on You Tube, as well as being invited to be a guest on dozens of mainstream television shows. He is absolutely adorable, and has worked hard to become an accomplished chef. Chase’s darling personality shows through in his recipes; they are innovative, trendy (most give instructions on making them gluten free), fun, and appealing.
The recipes are well-written and easy to follow. As a bonus, he has included a box with a “Fun Fact” at the end of each recipe, which makes the book informative, too. This is one author who has studied history and food, and in this delightful cookbook, he has made learning fun.
Some of the best dishes are: Barnyard Breakfast Muffins and Sunshine Muffins (Yum). Caveman Kabobs were delicious and easy, and he has included a fabulous recipe for gingerbread from his Grandma Karen. Trendy recipes include Jammin’ Jerk Roast, Tikka Masala Pizza, and Sloppy Chase with Lamb, to name a few. There are also pictures of almost every recipe, so cooks will have an idea how their finished product will look.
The Official Chase 'N Yur Face Cookbook is highly recommended for all cooks, from young beginners to the very accomplished. It is a fun read with recipes that are simple and good. It’s one of those books that is fun to give as a gift and one of those books that should be on every cookbook shelf.
Go Chase! You are amazing!
